[RCSE] NATS Entry Forms/Schedule
Yes, this is earlier than we all expected, Lonee Estep is getting off to quick start. There are a couple of errors on the entry form on the AMA website. I have requested the changes, but I do have an edited .pdf version available at: http://www.silentflight.org/NATS2005/Nats2005.html Click on the Nats Registration Packet link or wait a day or so and get a corrected copy from AMA (I'll post the update on the LSF site as well). F3B is a typo, it is indeed an F3J year, and we are allowing 4 entries per frequency in F3J only to spur pilots to fly together as teams. The entry fee is $35 like the other two day events. There's an extra line between Sat/Sun and Mon, with a $25 tag ... ignore that, it's a cut and paste orphan from morphing the form from last year to 2005. The schedule has shifted to a Friday to Friday week. The Executive Council mandated a compression of the Nats schedule. They took some practice days away from some groups, split frequencies among different R/C events to run concurrently ... Soaring retains its 8 days, just offset a day earlier. As a result, the schedule was changed only by shifting HLG to Friday from Monday. This minimal change should allow us to evaluate how the shift may affect our attendance.

[RCSE] Who are Frank, Bob, and Jack
While cleaning up some old filed on my computer, I ran across this. It was posted on Compuserve sometime before 1996 when I dropped Compuserve. It is probably from 1994 since that was the first time we flew at Muncie and is the only year we flew from the knoll. And it was not the Nats but the LSF Tournament. Chuck Anderson SOARING WITH THE EAGLES Frank, Bob and Jack, to Muncie did go. The National were on and they had entered the show. Two Magics were ready, the epoxy dry, Poor Jack had a crash, during a last minute fly. They arrived at the site, and studied the scene. Their transmitters charged, their reflexes keen. The two meters were flying and the launches were steep. Most landings were perfect. The water looked deep. Next day they rose with the birds and went straight to the field. Our fellows were ready, if their nerves didn't yield. The top guns were there, thicker than fleas. Flying Falcons and Eagles, Saturns and Vees Our men watched Wurts, Weaver, Agnew and Shaw Talk about awesome. There should be a law. Projectilesthey launched as if shot from a gun. Then they thermalled like hawks, as high as the sun. Then down from the heavens, they came like a shot. Deployed their flaps and nailed the spot Our boys winched up their sailplanes, but their zenith was low. If the green air was left, to the right they would go. The lift was elusive, but most landings they made. Their flights weren't impressive, but their zeal didn't fade. When the contest was over they posted the score. Mike Fox was the winner, our guys' dreams were no more. Would they do it again? Would they challange the best? Will they hone their skills and go back for the test? The resonse was a chorus. The answer was, yes. What is it that drives them, to take up this quest? To challange the gods. To fly from that knoll. To dream the impossible. That is their goal.

Re: [RCSE] Optima Battery Charging
When using a desulfating charger, the recommended voltage is 14 volts with an Optima. Many low amp chargers are not high enough voltage, and others are too high. http://www.vdcelectronics.com/batteryminder_12v_optima.htm We charge and maintain 4 at our field with a solar charger at 14.4 volts P.S.

Thanks for the replies. You _MUST_ have a charger that never exceeds the max voltage rating of the Optima (15.1 Volts) or it can vent and then it is trash. Many chargers will do this, so do some research before buying. I just checked (it was bugging me). The Optima max voltage is 15.6 V. Some chargers can hit 16 V, hence the warning.

Re: [RCSE] California Foam -Home Depot?
Can anyone tell me what foams are available at the Home Depot's (or equiv. stores) in your state? In Fresno, CA, there is a company called Valley Foam that uses foam to produce various objects such as decorative columns, animals etc. for commercial purposes. I've been able to get free scrap 1 lb foam pieces large enough to cut wing cores. I have also bought 2 and 3 pound pieces cut to my dimensions. They get the foam in 4'x4'x10' blocks. It is mostly white foam. If you check in you area you might be able to find a similar company. The price will be higher than Home Depot. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] Frankfort Flyer? Did you lose a JW?
and I ain't talking Germany Hi guys, The Cincy DS Gang lost a plane down the hilll and came up with a different one. A blue winged JW, with yellow stripes, and special treatment to the elevons. A squirel got to one leading edge but in general its flyable. I charged it and that worked to. So if you lost it let me know...I 'might' return it. Gordy

[RCSE] Names in JW's
A very good reason to put your name and contact info in or on all of your models... such a simple thing to do. The name wason it, a squirel ate it! But you make a great point, specially on slopes like Frankfort, where it can be pretty treacherous to not have you name tag on, we have found a bunch of dead guys on that slope, stranded at some point by muddy terrain, sloping by themselves...and no name in their fuselages. I don't mind keeping them in the garage till someone claims them but my wife complains about the smell.Gordy
